C197

Amongst the countless Alasos who had been exploring the sea, there were some lucky ones who found the southern part of the continent they had once been looking at across the sea. They had landed in a prominent part of the southern part of the continent, and had set up a simple port there.

There were a lot of wild animals in the northern part of the port, as well as a lot of Fishmen. The Fishmen had lived here for over seven thousand years, or perhaps ten thousand years, and they had a lot of savings, so the Menethil Family saw the business opportunity, so they set up a branch of the Merchant Union in the Port of Menethil in cooperation with the Night Elf Mercenary Guild, allowing the Mercenary Guild to bring taxes and increase their strength.

They used a large amount of money to create a powerful force of war, and with the money, they even hired some mages to help them. With the help of the mages, their power grew even faster, from a small port to the west of the entire wetland, and occasionally they could see some humanoid traces on the east side of the wetland. However, they did not dare to disturb them, as they did not have absolute confidence in their ability, they did not alert them.

With such great power, the emperor of Alasso became wary of the Menethil family, and had no choice but to release the nobles and generals who had been imprisoned for a long time. These nobles and generals had started to settle their scores with His Majesty the emperor of Alaso as soon as they gained power. They did not care about the Menethil Family at all.

The emperor of Alaso was extremely anxious. According to his intelligence, the Menethil family was growing stronger by the day while the nobles under his command were still finding fault with their restrictions. However, he had no choice but to deal with them. Sigh! His plan had failed! If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have given them back their rights.

Although the emperor of Alasso was complaining incessantly, the nobles were still watching the struggle for power. They wanted to expand their power to the point of becoming grand dukes, to own a duchy of their own, and to become the third, after Curtilas and Ottlank, a great honor, the first of which was lost to Curtilas, who, though a vassal of the night elves, was also a way of acquiring such extraordinary honor. The first was fine, but the second was taken away by Otoranke. Although Dalaran was not part of the empire, he had yet to officially become a Duchy. Furthermore, it was established by the entire Alliance, so it couldn't be counted.

People's hearts changed. Even if Emperor Alaso had the ability to transcend the heavens, he still couldn't change the situation. It wouldn't be easy to lead the troops to disperse!

In a short ten years, the Menethil family had once again gained a chance to develop, and the conflict between the emperor and the aristocracy in the Alaso Empire continued to grow, until it finally broke out overnight. The aristocrats took advantage of the development of Stomgard City, which was not conducive to humanity, to leave the Alashi basin, while the emperor wanted to save the government's reputation that was already on the verge of being lost, leaving the commoners behind. Without these commoners, the Alaso Empire would become a country without a country, and the honor of Emperor wouldn't allow his descendants to abolish the Alaso Empire.

At this moment, the Menethil Family successfully bypassed the Demon's territory and landed in the Tirisfal Forest. They also found the place where the High Elves used to live, but that place was already occupied by the Night Elves' mages.

Relying on their relationship with the night elves, the Menethil family had successfully acquired the right to live there. Furthermore, they built a city there, named it Lordaeron. Therefore, they knew what the people at the bottom needed, and the land was the best way to attract the commoners, and the wetlands there were all marshes, so the development was very slow. But right now, the empire was filled with internal strife, and there was no time to care about them, so their first step was to expand their territory, and as a result, they set their eyes on a large piece of land in the Tirisfal Forest. That land was always densely forested, so it was definitely fertile.

The Night Elf Mages left quickly, and Lordaeron became the city of humans. This place was filled with fertile land, which was a fatal attraction for the commoners who had no one to rely on, so large numbers of commoners came to Lordaeron, which attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the Empire, whether it was the Emperor or the nobles, who did not want to be taken advantage of by these commoners. Therefore, the two sides tacitly stopped their fight, and the emperors did not stop the nobles from leaving, instead the nobles did not tempt the commoners to leave.

However, their withdrawal did not mean that they could suppress Lordaeron's growth. With Hildaeron behind them, Lordaeron's momentum was growing, and could already fight against the governing city of the Alliance, Dalaran. However, Dalaran's main attraction was to the upper echelons, while Lordaeron's attraction to the commoners was very high.

The momentum of the Menethil family was unstoppable. Although the emperor was determined to punish them, the nobles did not listen to him and promised to not send any troops. If they were to pass through the Dalaran Alliance and manage the city together, it would bring about a huge diplomatic dispute, so the emperor could only shout.

After more than a hundred years of development, Lordaeron had officially established the Duchy, and the Menethil family still did not dare to claim the throne. All of humanity except for Curtilas was a Dukedom, but that was because of the night elves. After Menethil called them dukes, the nobles became more active in their thoughts. First, the Kirghiz family in the southwest of Dalaran called them dukes in Kyrgyzstan, and then the nobles of various sizes called them nobles.

In the end, for the sake of their limited territory, these dukes fought like ghosts and took over each other. In the end, the remaining five duchies succeeded: Kutyrus, Kyrgyzstan, Dalaran, Ottoman, Lordaeron, and the Alaso Empire.
